Interactively in Windows Explorer I click on "My Network Places"
then I click on the I.E. folder named abc.alphabetcity.com (the FTP site)
and paste in my files. Then on my local machine I connect (at automatically midnight) in FTP script code to download.
(note: locally, I do NOT have access to the remote files I need to download - I have to RDP to the remote server and pre-copy them to the FTP)
I want to automate that process also. What does the actual code look like?

COPY FILE c:\my_workbook.xls to "ftp://abc.alphabetcity.com\staging_folder\my_workbook.xls"
or how do I first connect to "ftp://abc.alphabetcity.com\staging_folder\ do that I can then
COPY FILE c:\my_workbook.xls to my_workbook.xls
thanks.
